Intellectual Frontiers in the Humanities and Applied Social Sciences

Intellectual Frontiers in the Humanities and Applied Social Sciences – Volume 3 brings together interdisciplinary studies that explore philosophy, law, public administration, culture, and education through critical and contemporary perspectives. The volume highlights the connections between ethical reflection, institutional challenges, and social transformation in increasingly complex societies. The collection revisits philosophical debates on morality and human existence, while also examining the historical influence of Catholic thought on the construction of human dignity as a fundamental right. Educational studies emphasize literary reading and citizenship formation as essential dimensions for critical learning and democratic participation. Institutional and legal analyses address vulnerabilities within judicial management, the impacts of digitalization on justice systems, and strategies aimed at improving transparency and administrative efficiency. Discussions on design thinking and innovative management methods reinforce the importance of creativity and accountability in public service. The volume also explores the relationship between culture, visual arts, and rights through reflections on Warhol's Pop Art and its dialogue with cultural expression and social meaning. In the international legal sphere, the collection examines consumer protection and liability criteria involving digital platforms within Spanish and European Union law. By integrating theoretical inquiry with applied perspectives, this volume reaffirms the relevance of interdisciplinary scholarship in advancing critical knowledge across the Humanities and Applied Social Sciences.
